A/N: My first shot at a fan fiction, so make sure to review so that I know if I should write more!

Prologue: From Kikyo's perspective

I had to get out.

I just couldn't stand being near someone so hateful, so vindictive.

How could he?

How could he?

I trusted him, and this is how he repays me.

I trusted him.

I loved him.

I can still...I can still feel that sharp pain...I can still feel the blood trickling down my fingers...and I can hear the pitter patter as it dripped to the ground.

It's like I'm still there...

But I can only remember those things now. I don't...feel things anymore. I don't feel...anything. I used to be so warm, but now...

...but now...now I'm so cold...

...always so cold...

I don't belong here...

...but then...she doesn't belong here, either...

...does she?
